Smart Property Investments—Residential or Commercial—Bring Real Benefits

Property investment has been a go-to strategy for Australians for generations, offering the potential for capital growth and stability. Often, a family home is the first big investment many make, with an investment property as the next logical step—even before shares or other assets.

But your first property purchase doesn’t have to be your own home. Many young Australians choose to buy an affordable rental property in one suburb while renting in a more desirable area or staying with family. Others are branching into commercial property through trusts and syndicates, diversifying their portfolio early on.

Why property? Real estate tends to be steadier than stocks and is often seen as a safe bet when other investments dip. Property offers the potential for capital growth (the increase in your asset’s value) and rental income. There are also tax perks through negative gearing, which can work to your advantage.

However, as with any investment, there’s no guarantee. Property values can decrease, and finding reliable tenants can sometimes be challenging. That’s where RealWay steps in—our specialists are dedicated to thorough tenant selection, advanced systems, and quality service to provide you with a “peace of mind ownership experience.”

It’s crucial for investors to understand how changing interest rates might impact their returns and how their property stacks up against other investment options, like shares. If direct ownership isn’t your style, managed funds, listed property trusts, and syndicates can offer you a share in diverse properties (residential, commercial, industrial, or retail) with a smaller upfront investment.

Don’t hesitate to start your property journey—about 80% of global household wealth is built on real estate investments. Always consult your financial advisor to see if it’s right for you.
